CeramicSpeed's Grade 3 Silicon Nitride ceramic balls are fitted into hardened steel races in dust-free clean rooms — a process designed to deliver a frictional loss of just 0.45 watts, which CeramicSpeed claims represents a saving of more than one watt over most standard threaded bottom brackets in this class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ceramic balls themselves are a meaningful engineering choice, not a cosmetic one. Compared to standard steel balls, they're designed to be 400% smoother, 128% harder, and 58% lighter — and more than 100% smoother and 15% harder than standard ceramic alternatives. That combination of surface finish and hardness translates to \u003cstrong\u003ereduced rolling resistance and longer bearing life\u003c\/strong\u003e, so you're not just gaining efficiency on the first ride. The coated version adds a protective treatment to the races, extending durability in demanding conditions.
